This engagement was open from 7 August 2024 to 11 September 2024. Alternative formats were available upon request, including paper copies, Easy Read, Braille, large print, British Sign Language, or in another language.
Background
The PlayZone programme is a new investment opportunity from the Football Foundation aimed at tackling inequalities in physical activity and improving access to facilities by funding community-led spaces. A PlayZone is a fenced, outdoor mini pitch (30m x 20m) that provides a safe and inclusive space for the local community to use for a variety of sports and activities.
Three sites in Bristol have been shortlisted to have a PlayZone on site and local partner organisations have been identified as being joint applicants:
Barton Fields in partnership with Barton Hill Rugby Club and Fields in Trust
Rose Green in partnership with Rose Green Sports and Leisure Limited, Bristol West Indian Phoenix Cricket Club and Bristol Central FC
The Big Hideout on Teyfant Road in partnership with Learning Partnership West
Before proceeding with the full planning and funding application, we’re seeking views to understand what the community would want from a PlayZone in the area.
The Football Foundation would pay for 75% of the build costs with investment from the Premier League, The FA and the Government via Sport England. The remaining 25% would be provided by Bristol City Council utilising Section 106 funding. The local partner organisation would be responsible for running the site and paying for ongoing repair and maintenance costs which should be funded through income generated through pitch bookings.
What happens next
This community engagement closes on Wednesday11 September 2024. At the same time, technical feasibility work is also being carried out at each site. After taking community views into consideration, if deemed a viable option then a full planning application will be submitted for each site. We will also be working with the local partner organisations to develop a business plan for each site, working with local groups to understand how they could utilise the site if developed. A funding application would then be submitted to the Football Foundation in December. If planning and funding is approved, we expect project builds to commence in Summer 2025.
